  The Falcon BMS team congratulates to the 50th anniversary of the F-16.
  Long live the Falcon!

  Backstory:

  The first flight of the F-16 was not initially planned but resulted from a high-speed taxi test. Phil Oestricher, the test pilot, was conducting the taxi test when he decided to continue accelerating. Due to a combination of factors, including a slush-covered runway and a lack of braking action, the aircraft became airborne, and Oestricher decided to take it into the air. This unplanned event occurred on January 20, 1974, and marked the first flight of the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

  @polewhoflies also bear in mind that one of the bms devs (seifer i think) has been investigating performance anomalies with AMD gpus. Cant remember which thread that was in, but will look for it for you. Edit - looking at the “U4 is coming in 2-3 weeks” thread:

  “Performance improvements (specially for AMD cards)”

  Just one comment, what you label as Su-30SM2 here is in fact the Su-30MK2.

  The MK2 is a slightly modified version of the original Su-30MKK Flanker G produced by KnAAPO for the PLAAF. The MK2 version introduced an anti-ship capability and was produced for the PLAN. It was also sold to Vietnam as MK2V, Venezuela as MKV and Indonesia, which also received a few MKK that were simply designated as MK.

  The Su-30M2 was the domestic version of the MK2 and was produced in small quantities only (16 IIRC) and which is purely operated as an operational conversion trainer like the Su-27UB.

  The Su-30SM was the domestic version of the Indian Su-30MKI Flanker H, derivates of which comprised the Su-30MKM for Malaysia and the Su-30MKA for Algeria. The Export version of the domestic Su-30SM is designated as Su-30SME and the SM2 is an improved version of the SM. The Flanker H is very different compared to the Flanker G and build by IAPO.
